The Oxidation of Cyclohexanol to Cyclohexanone with Chromic Acid Berencia Fore Chemistry 145-02 2015 October 15 Abstract: Cyclohexanol was combined with sodium dichromate in sulfuric acid to prod... uce cyclohexanone. Product identity was confirmed via infrared spectrum due to the presence of a ketone carbonyl. Introduction: Oxidation-reduction reactions are essential to the commercial production of specific compounds on a large scale. In 1995, 1.1 trillion pounds of cyclohexanone was synthesized in the United States¹. A majority of the cyclohexanone created for commercial purposes is used to form compounds necessary for the synthetic fiber Nylon³. In order to create aldehydes and ketones, primary and secondary alcohols can be oxidized by inorganic reagents such as hypochlorite, permanganate, or chromate². In this experiment, cyclohexanol was converted to cyclohexanone by treatment with chromic acid as the oxidizing agent using the procedure of Bakare. Experimental Section: In a flask, 6 mL (.058 mol) of cyclohexanol was added to 20 mL of distilled water. Following the addition of 50 mL of sodium dichromate, the solution was stirred and left to react for 30 minutes. The solution was transferred to a round-bottom flask and the previous flask was [Show More]
